https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D194204 --- Comment #8 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to Mateusz Guzik from comment #5) > I don't think we should provide a syscall with weaker randomness than one > provided with original implementation. I think that's the wrong way to look at it; if we have a weak CSPRNG that n= eeds to be fixed, regardless of the mechanism by which userland obtains entropy = from kernel. I believe it is worthwhile for us to add the getentropy syscall, but the approach we use today (the kern.arandom sysctl) is in practice largely equivalent. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
